I would love to see it all over the city again. Such a shame they tore them out. I agree. I would love to see it all over the city again. Such a shame they tore them out.

I'm sure that could be fixed if the city were to get some of their own mind you. I really need to go for a ride - maybe during the madness next week when I'm down that way for the Canada vs. Switzerland hockey game.

I live right in the middle so it is rather useless to me from a practical point of view. I wish it had a stop half way. I really hope that the route gets extended Downtown and I would love to see it run up through Kits and on up the Arbutus corridor to Kerrisdale. Sadly I think it can't run on the existing tracks and all the tracks would have to be replaced (the ones in Southeast False Creek have been torn out, but there is a boulevard for them in the middle of 1st Ave). Maybe one day.... Hey Raul, Glad you liked, altough it goes right by my place I have not been on it. I live right in the middle so it is rather useless to me from a practical point of view.
